| Kate Earl – When You're Older Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
To me this song is to my 8 year old daughter...the guilt I have over finally leaving her cheating father and how one day she will grow up and understand why I couldn't stay with him anymore. How she'd often catch me crying at the thought of her being affected by our divorce--and having her comfort me without fully understanding why I was sad. It's about how I know her headstrong personality will keep her from ending up where I was; manipulated for years by a man I was afraid to leave. And about being nervous about my entire life taking a different direction, but also hopeful for a new beginning. I know that's not what the artist intended, but that's what this song means to me. I'm overcome with emotion every time I hear it! |
